More than ever before, Cannes is a city not to miss.

Behind La Croisette is the rue d'Antibes, a jewel of a shopping street, distinguished by its urban elegance, heightened by recent renovation. Some of the cross-streets with their smart boutiques are pedestrian walks made for strolling and shopping.
